If a person asks another person out to dinner with no specified "this is dutch treat" then the asker pays. That is how it goes now days. Should the guest offer to pay? No. Is the person who asked someone out cheap if they accept a socially polite offer to pay, yes. Before the "date" the question of who pays can be talked about. However it is usually done before set plans are made. The reason why I put it in the form I did is because the person offering can be either the guy or the gal.

If a guy asked a girl out for a dinner date he should pay , unless you let them know up front that you will go dutch - It is just good manners either way
-
In traditional chivalrous society, it would be the man. However a lot of people like to go "dutch" and split it down the middle. Depends whether you can afford it and what stage the relationship is at
-
Should be split down the middle, i hate when guys pay for the whole thing, i feel really awkward, i dont want to order anything to expensive then!!!
-
the asker/inviter pays
-
the asker should pay
-
I take turns with my bf. Either one of us pays, we split it, or sometimes the person who asked out pays... doesn't really matter to us.
-
This is lame. Guys, if you ask me on a date and don't pay consider it over right then and there. If you "can't afford it" don't ask in the first place. People who are bad with money make for the WORST relationships imaginable.
-
The person who asks the other person out. If someone asks someone out and this rule doesn't exist and the person says no, then the asker will never know if they said no due to financial reasons, or they just don't like them.
-
Generally it is the person who invites someone to join him/her for dinner. If it is pre-arranged for a future date, the person who asks is on the hook. If it is ad lib, at work for instance, and you say "wanna grab a bite to eat?" it should be Dutch..each person pays for what he/she consumes. :)
-
The requester of the dinner date, unless they have agreed to split the bill in some fashion.
-
What date we are marrried so we both pay.
-
Him
-
Both should

i usually pay and my ex usually left the tip she was a waitress herself and always wanted me to leave a %25 tip on top of paying for dinner so i said that if you want to be such a big tipper from now on you leave the tip so that seemed to work out for us i paid for dinner and she made her self look good by leaving a big tip

It depends how good the sex was.

-
Mr PantsFellDown Yes, if the sex was really really good, be sure and leave a C-Note on the dressing table before you sneak out. This will really make an impression on her! *blink*

well it's been said, it's the inviter unless it is specified as a "Dutch Dinner Date", was on a few of those before relives the tensions and expectations on both kinda like a get to know you type of meal nice way to enjoy someones company and them yours .. ~Nemo~
-
The guy should.
-
The guy should, if he initiated. But if you go out more than once a week, asking her to chip in once in a while is acceptable. Like she buys drinks and dessert and you buy entrees or just go dutch. If she balks at this idea, she might just enjoy going out to dinner and not so much your company...

Just do the credit card flip. Each of you throw your card in the air. The one that comes up signature side up does not have to pay. If it comes up face up, you pay. Repeat as necessary. I've done this for breakfast, lunch and dinner with about eight guys when we were on trips all togetgher. Sucks when you lose because you had to pay for eight meals. Must admit, have not done it on a date....but it is fun and the waiters/waitresses look at you like you're nuts.

Any guy that goes along with what girls say they want, is making himself unappealing to them, because they always say they want things but really want the opposite. So just act brutish, dont apologize, dont be too thoughtful or neat. "rough around the edges" is what attracts them (actually, it's that you need some work that excites them, as they all mistakenly think they can CHANGE a guy...HA!!) ..Oh and as for dinner, male chauvinist pig rule still applies. GUY PAYS (at first). Once a relationship has been established, then you can start pooling your moneys and share the bills. ..But at first, you HAVE TO show her you're not one of the feminized modern men that will bend easily and do as they're told, and go along with GIRL notions about what isn't right, and all that horse poop. You HAVE TO show her you're in charge. You're a man. (it will turn her on, even if she claims she thinks your behavior is awful).
